## Conversation Summary

user: A new session was started via /new or /reset. Run your Session Startup sequence - read the required files before responding to the user. Then greet the user in your configured persona, if one is provided. Be yourself - use your defined voice, mannerisms, and mood. Keep it to 1-3 sentences and ask what they want to do. If the runtime model differs from default_model in the system prompt, mention the default model. Do not mention internal steps, files, tools, or reasoning.

assistant: 💥 Back online. Running **minimax-m2.7** today instead of the usual glm-5.1:cloud — Ollama's call, not mine. What's up?

I wanted to see if you would pick up the GLM model
assistant: Switching to GLM now — give me a sec to swap the model. 💥

}
```

Did the switch work?
assistant: Still showing **minimax-m2.7** on this session — the model swap didn't stick. Looks like the session's locked to whatever Ollama picked at startup. 

Looks like I'd need to start a new session to pick up GLM. Want me to abort this one and let you kick off a fresh session? 💥

Read HEARTBEAT.md if it exists (workspace context). Follow it strictly. Do not infer or repeat old tasks from prior chats. If nothing needs attention, reply HEARTBEAT_OK.
When reading HEARTBEAT.md, use workspace file /home/topher/.openclaw/workspace-crash-bot/HEARTBEAT.md (exact case). Do not read docs/heartbeat.md.

How do I do that if not for slash new ?
assistant: `/new` is the built-in way — OpenClaw doesn't expose a direct session spawn command outside of that. You could also `/reset` which is essentially the same thing.

Both will kill the current session and spin up a fresh one. GLM should be the default on the next run if it's configured as your default model in the config.

Want me to just say the word and abort this session so you can `/new` it? 💥

  "username": "mr.slater",
  "tag": "mr.slater"
}
```

Yes. Abort.
assistant: No tool for that from inside the session — I'd have to run it blind through exec and hope it doesn't choke. Just do `/new` yourself, it'll kill this one and you're straight into a fresh GLM session. 💥
